Show Notes

Gold is a topic that tends to pop up anytime there’s uncertainty in the market or conversations of where the economy is headed. We’ve seen gold hit all-time highs over the past week joined with increased nervousness of the pending stimulus package in congress and upcoming elections. This has resulted in more voices who recommend investing in gold as a safe alternative to a volatile market.

  • How should we think about gold?
  • Where/how does gold fit in an investment plan?
  • How to think about investments
  • Why we don’t include gold in our investment portfolios
  • How has gold performed historically as an asset class?
  • Should I purchase physical gold in case things go bad?
  • Is gold a safe hedge against a volatile market?
  • What’s a better way to provide some protection if you’re worried about the economy over the short term?
